There's an overlook at 2 miles with a great view of the expansive Gallatin Valley; the trail continues up a long ridge and intersects with the Bridger Foothills Trail at 3.1 miles, providing further hiking, running, or biking options. Many hikers continue on to Mount Baldy, the prominent 8,914-foot summit visible from Bozeman.
Sypes Canyon is most popular in late spring and summer, though it's usable year-round. Hike, run, or mountain bike during the spring, summer, and fall. Wear snowboots with grip action during winter. We only recommend cross-country skiing to experts, because there are steep climbs scattered throughout the trail.

Overflow parking is available on Sypes Canyon Rd., just below the Y.
